There is no way a single income family is taking such a large family to Florida by saving hard. Surely you’d have to be talking about an income of nearly 90k for someone to support a 7 member house hold and going to Florida.
Surely then you wouldn’t be eligible for a council house with an income that high.
I don’t buy at all that she saves every penny to afford these holidays.
1. She wouldn’t be driving a car that brakes down on its way to DLP
2. Always a bit of a Debbie downer on the cost of living etc - if you are living this lifestyle how can you then moan life is so unfair etc.
We go to Florida most years. We don’t have as many children, we both work and we still have to save so hard for these holidays! I can’t justify a trip to DLP as it’s money not going towards Florida, which we wouldn’t want to miss out on. I certainly am not having solo trips or days out in between. She can say it’s saving hard all she likes but it’s debt. There is absolutely no other way and I could believe it if I saw a frugal lifestyle but solo trips, weekends away and all the other extras are not frugal living.
